Promoters dropped Kneecap from the July 11 event following safety concerns raised by Police Scotland.
At the time, a spokesperson for the force said: 'Any decision on the line-up at TRNSMT is for the organisers, and there was no prior consultation with Police Scotland before acts were booked.
"Officers highlighted that the potential reaction of such a large audience to this band would require a significant policing operation in order to support the delivery of a safe event.'
The group's removal from TRNSMT came amid controversy surrounding an ongoing investigation by counter-terrorism police into band member Mo Chara, who is facing charges in connection with allegedly displaying a Hezbollah flag during a previous performance.
In response to their removal from the festival, Kneecap apologised to fans and organised a replacement show at the O2 Academy, which sold out in just 80 seconds.

The Glasgow Times reported earlier that a sniffer dog searched the rap trios dressing room ahead of their show.
Before the gig, a video posted to the band's Instagram page showed a dog being led around their dressing room. A photo shared on their Facebook page also showed a van marked with a 'search dogs' sticker.
It is understood that the dog was not a police sniffer dog and that no Police Scotland officers were involved in searching the venue.

Tammy Hembrow hits back at accusations about her marriage to Matt Zukowski following their split
Tammy Hembrow has responded to just one of hundreds of comments about her pending divorce from Matt Zukowski after seven months of marriage. The fitness influencer, 31, who announced her split from the Love Island star in June, hit back at one fan who accused her of 'pretending' the relationship never happened. 'Tammy, your love to Mathew was so loud,' one of Tammy's 17 million Instagram followers commented on a recent video. 'Now you're just pretending nothing happened.' The comment clearly struck a chord with the recently single mother-of-three. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'It was,' Tammy replied defiantly on Thursday. Tammy shut down criticism about how she is moving on, having listed her three Vera Wang wedding dresses for sale on Monday, and sparking rumours of a possible reconciliation with her ex-fiancé Reece Hawkins following a surprising late-night phone call. Tammy's three dresses include a rosy-hued, full-skirted tulle dress, a sleek bustier number and a short corseted dress with a dramatic train, all provided by Vera Wang. '[I'm] not pretending nothing happened,' Tammy told her critic. 'Just trying to move on with my life and focus on myself and my kids.' The social media star shares two children – Wolf, eight, and Saskia, six – with her ex Reece. In several videos posted to her Stories on Thursday, Tammy promoted an upcoming fitness challenge she will be doing. Tammy shut down the critique of how she is moving on, after listing her three Vera Wang wedding dresses for sale on Monday 'I am in the midst of getting in the best shape of my life, mentally, emotionally, and physically,' she announced. 'That's a huge focus of mine right now. I want to get to the best place in life that I possibly can.' It comes after Tammy revealed she 'didn't recognise herself' during her marriage to Matt, 29. The influencer revealed on Sunday that she has toned up her body and lost weight since leaving the marriage. She shared a video on Instagram that featured her look during and after her time with Matt, with Tammy having visibly trimmed down and gained muscle in recent weeks. In her caption, Tammy said she was feeling like herself again amid the painful and very public split. 'Guys I'm starting to feel like myself again. I don't even recognise myself in those first videos, to be honest,' Tammy wrote in her caption. 'You won't always feel motivated, but you will never regret starting and investing in YOU,' she added, while also promoting her fitness app. Tammy and Matt confirmed they had split on social media last month. Matt announced the couple's separation in a sombre Instagram Story, telling fans the decision was not taken lightly. 'It's with a heavy heart I share that Tammy and I have decided to separate,' Matt began. 'Both of us have struggled with making this decision, however we need to do what is right for ourselves and her three children. 'This wasn't a decision we took lightly. Our time together will always be cherished and never forgotten,' he added, before thanking fans for their support and asking for privacy. Despite their short-lived marriage, both parties have asked for privacy as they adjust to life post-break-up. 'We appreciate everyone's support and space at this time as we navigate the split,' Matt concluded in his emotional post. Tammy later addressed the split in an emotional TikTok video where she announced she was filing for divorce. 'I don't want to get into the details and I want to be sensitive to everyone involved,' she told fans. 'Obviously, when you marry someone, you do it thinking that it is going to be forever, and I blame no one but myself,' Tammy continued while breaking down in tears. 'I've made not the best choices when it comes to relationships. I'm good at putting on rose-coloured glasses. 'Obviously, the worst part for me is that I have kids. I don't care about me, I know I will be okay, but I feel awful.' Tammy and Matt They became engaged in December 2023 after dating for just three months.

Key prosecutor on Jeffrey Epstein and Diddy cases Maurene Comey sacked by DOJ
Maurene is the daughter of former FBI Director James Comey COMEY FIRED Key prosecutor on Jeffrey Epstein and Diddy cases Maurene Comey sacked by DOJ Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE prosecutor in the Jeffrey Epstein trial has been fired from the powerful Manhattan US Attorney's Office. Maurene Comey, the daughter of former FBI Director James Comey, was reportedly sacked on Wednesday, with an official reason yet to be announced. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Maurene Comey has been fired from the powerful Manhattan US Attorney's Office Credit: AP 2 Comey led the case during the Sean 'Diddy' Combs trial Credit: Reuters Comey had a major law career, working on the prosecutions of convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell. The latter was found guilty of multiple sex crimes at trial and sentenced to 20 years in prison. Comey also served as a prosecutor for Sean 'Diddy' Combs - one of a trio of high-profile cases she faced. That trial came to an end earlier this month with a mixed verdict, with Combs being convicted of two prostitution-related charges. He was acquitted on charges of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking. Veteran lawyer Comey served in the Southern District of New York and was often considered to be among the state's most elite prosecutors. Both law enforcement and Department of Justice sources confirmed Comey's firing. It comes amid the Trump administration cracking down on Justice Department lawyers. Comey's father James has had a particularly frosty relationship with the US President in recent years. James Comey was the FBI director when Trump first took to office in 2017. But controversy struck early on during Trump's first White House stint as Comey refused to pledge his loyalty to the President at a private dinner. Just a few months later, Comey was fired amid an investigation into potential links between Russia and Trump's presidential campaign. The Secret Service also interviewed the ex-bureau director in May for a cryptic '86 47' Instagram post that led to accusations from Trump that Comey was calling for another assassination attempt against him.
